[ROM] XannyTech Custom Mod Rom + TWRP Recovey built-in - for MINIM8SII and other devices see first post.

[xs32]

USE SPMC, do not use Kodi. SPMC has the proper optimizations for Android that Kodi NEVER WILL HAVE. So please all of you stop using Kodi. If you like Kodi so much, then stop using Android and use the LIbre Elec port that is available for your box instead, as Kodi will NEVER fix the issues with these Android boxes, EVER. There's a reason why SPMC works so well and Kodi sucks so much on Android.

i respect your opinion, understand the fundamental limitations of Kodi and the political and technical challenges the team behind it has faced. SPMC is not immune to bugs and the only issue i have with Kodi today is DTS passthrough - not the end of the world. It actually works fine if i remove DTS support in the sound options (it just sends as PCM with no slowdown) . At the end of the day, Kodi is just another interesting option to explore and it's a fine discussion topic for this thread in my mind because we all have similar hardware and the xannytech custom mod we're commenting on actually "comes with" Kodi.

Just tested this script in kodi 17 and ARR is working. The only problem ... video is laggish due to lack of amlcodec.

On spmc it works flawless! Disable ARR in settings if you have it on!

All you need to do is grab the drivers from your current rom and copy them over to a USB drive and then flash and copy them over manually and follow the instructions on how to set permissions. It's easy and takes less than 5 minutes. I had to do it for my Yundoo Y6. It's simple. If you can read you can do it.

Have you tried plugging a Wi-Fi dongle into the USB port, alot of people will use an Ethernet cable unless or until a fix is made, others will go back to stock rom while they wait

Do you try that on kodi 18?

[wolfynwo]

Nope. 18 is in development.

The problem is that Kodi is not aware of system frame rate changes, so if you start up the box at 60hz and then change to 24hz, kodi keep trying to adjust display rate and introduces judder. This add-on should inform kodi that display rate has changed, but it doesn't. That's a shame.

[ddogishere]

It's a shame though because some of the android boxes have really good specs and are capable of running kodi ports no problem. Kodi itself isn't even piracy anyway either, it's the certain links and addons that are.

The boxes are capable of running linux too now anyway so if it came to it people can still run that. The spmc fork by koyring actually works perfect on my s905x though. I have had problems with auto refresh rate but I think the xannytech rom has that fix too.

Hi how do you get the latest Google play store? Thx.

Hi Xannytech, I've tried to flash your firmware on my S905X 1G/8G box by SD and Burning Tool. Both methods completely brick the box, needing a pin short on the nand and reflash to bring the box back.

Maybe there's some way of flashing only the system partition using TWRP for cases like mine? I think the boot partition maybe is incompatible and is bricking the box.

Thanks!

I think it's stupid to flash just system partition, losting kernel part of the rom, not sure it will boot, not sure worth the test, cause you'll lost some mods i did in kernel (Boot partition).
Your problem could be bootloader, but you wrote "brick" so or is a S905 and not a S905X or it's odd, a bootloader problem could cause boot freeze, or bootloop, not "brick".
Anyway a generic S905X without any info about the manufacturer or model it's not useful to receive help of any kind.

I'm attaching some pics of the board aswell.

This software works perfectly, and is the one I used to restore after the brick:

After flashing yours it won't even turn on, only shows a red light. it doesn't come back using the magic SD card method, recovery.img method or anything.

It only comes back to life doing the pin shorting on the NAND and flashing the above SW.

If you need anything else I'm glad to provide! Thanks!
